In view of the health context, the 6th edition of the ANR Tour will be organized, for the 2nd consecutive year, in virtual from September 1 to 30, 2021. Aimed at scientific communities and institutional managers, the ANR Tour aims to accompany them in reading the 2022 Action Plan, the calls for projects and funding instruments that are included, or the selection and monitoring procedures for ANR projects.
Traditionally organized in the form of physical meetings in France and in the overseas regions, the Agency deployed a new device in 2020: a cycle of thematic webinars that brought together over 3,000 participants. Building on this success, the ANR will renew this online format throughout September 2021. On the agenda: some 30 generic webinars on the Action Plan and thematic webinars on the scientific, administrative and financial aspects of the Agency's calls for projects.
These meetings will be an opportunity for scientists, development officers, managers from different organizations, and representatives of the ANR's scientific and administrative departments to present and explain the changes and new features of the 2022 Action Plan, the main thrusts of the AAPG 2022 by scientific department, calls for proposals dedicated to public-private partnerships, calls for proposals focused on Europe and the international arena, calls for proposals for "Science with and for Society", the financial regulations, consortium agreements, and project monitoring tools. These meetings are also an opportunity to answer questions from the scientific communities to better assist them in their efforts.
